Kimster, although I don't post here often, I do read the comments whenever I have time. While I definitely understand Josiesmom's right to post what she wants, I don't feel that it is appropriate at all that she posted what she did regarding Kyron's mother, Desiree Young. Regardless of Desiree's past, she is the mother of a missing child. Desiree is not and has never been the focus of the criminal investigation into Kyron's disappearance. That said, I feel that it is in extremely bad taste for someone--at any point in this investigation--to come on a forum and make such statements regarding whether or not Desiree Young likes children. She claims to be a neighbor of Desiree and Tony Young, she gives second-hand information that she claims came from her teenage children, and even uses Desiree's lack of interest in her own pregnancy as a valid reason for her obvious personal dislike of Desiree Young. For what it's worth, I have four children ranging in age from two years to fifteen years old, I have lived in the same home for seven years, and I don't interact with my neighbors much. My next door neighbor has been pregnant three times in the seven years my family have lived here (in Portland, Oregon), she looks about ready to have her child any day now, and I have spoken to the woman a grand total of one time. Does that mean that I don't like children? I love children, especially my own. Have I ever lost custody of any of my four children? No. I am just a very private person--that's all. It doesn't sound like--from her story--that Josiesmom really even knows Desiree Young personally. Not only that, Kaine even confirmed in an interview in November of 2010--after Desiree's statements regarding Kyron wanting to live with her and Tony--that Desiree had in fact expressed concern (in so many words) and asked for Kyron to come and live with her and Tony. Does somebody out there have the link? If you do, would you kindly post it? Anyway, these are just my own opinions. I just don't feel that it is appropriate to bash the mother of a missing child. Unless it is factually proven otherwise, I am going to believe Desiree's statements that she had a severe medical condition and felt that Kyron (at the time) would be better staying with Kaine when he was two years old. Anything else, in my opinion, is just gossip. Thank you.
